With the Trump administration pulling the United States out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership when it took office in January, a Florida Republican is looking for closer trade relations with one of the Asian nations that had been part of it.

President Donald Trump tweeted that the Freedom Caucus must be fought. Rep. Ted Yoho, a Freedom Caucus member, wasn’t bothered.

Congressman Ted Yoho is sponsoring a pair of bills that could punish North Korea, as well as federal employees.

Yoho, R-Gainesville, is listed as a co-sponsor to a bipartisan bill (H.R.1644) introduced by Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., which calls to enhance sanctions on North Korea. Reps. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and Brad Sherman, D-Calif., are also listed as co-sponsors.

As Republicans ponder the best way to repeal and replace former President Barack Obama’s federal health care law, a conservative Florida Republican in Congress is looking to ensure the private sector will play a larger role.
